QUOTE(billylks @ Feb 8 2014, 04:51 PM) What is the English word/clause equivalent to 'perasan' in this context? Perasan = full of yourself"i don't want to dedicate this song to you, I scared you perasan". (please ignore the grammatical error in the sentence) The word 'misunderstood' cannot wholly captures the sophisticated meaning of the original word. Please help.  |

QUOTE(Revamperz @ Feb 8 2014, 04:13 PM) misjudge? This is almost like 'take it to your heart', but it still cannot capture the original word. I am afraid that you will misjudge my intention (it does not have the condescending tone in it), unless I end the sentence with a ptuih. I am afraid that you will misjudge my intention.... Ptuih! |

"i don't want to dedicate this song to you, I'm scared you would be paranoid," "i don't want to dedicate this song to you coz you think too much." Maybe ang moh are not as sophisticated as us?  |
